Dear Mr. Parrella: 
I purchased some bulbs and seeds from you last spring and I am well pleased with them, my friend in 
Kingston, N. Y., is also glad he got his bulbs from you. The seedlings are doing fine. I have one that looks 
just like a lilac colored Chrysanthemum, your description of Magic Prince seems to fit it. I want to bring 
some of my seedling flowers over to you some Sunday, so you could tell me if they are new and worth 
naming. Would you have time to look them over? 
Please send me some information on seedlings for trial, costs, etc. Please send me the address of the 
A. D. S. so I can subscribe. Does the book MODERN DAHLIAS tell how to propagate, pollante dahlias? 
I have a lot more questions but I’ll wait until I see you at the gardens. CE Deiw

Dear Mr. Parrella: 
In this short note, I desire to take the opportunity to tell you of the success I received with the tubers 
that I purchased from you this past year. Never before have I obtained such excellent results with dahlias, 
many blooms being between nine and twelve inches in diameter. The plants not only had large blooms, but 
there was a profusion of blooms. My dahlia garden was admired and envied by all. Due to the fine results 
I have obtained with your tubers, I would like to purchase the following: aaa
